With great pleasure, Ernest Newman Contemporary is presenting its inaugural exhibition 'Contemporaries', which includes a diverse range of artworks by 12 artists who have crafted their own expressive vernaculars.

The show is organized to display a collective presence of artists who are living through the advantages and challenges of creating work in New York City in our time. What is it like to be an artist in this day and age, and how does the social/cultural/economical situations shape an artist's studio practice? We are presenting works of artists who persevere, thrive, and move forward. Bringing together visually striking works from each of these individuals this show aims to draw attention to their collective presence that complement, inform, influence, and contrast each other.
